Khorkina's videos -
1997

In 1997 Svetlana Khorkina
included
the Khorkina at the end of her floor
routine (a 1½ turn in horizontal plan to
land in front support) and will keep it until she retired. Even though
she won
the all around for the first time, the World Championships were full of
controversies. First she refused to perform her second vault on the
vault final
after a fall on her first attempt. Then Kui Yuanyuan scored 9.787
during the
beam
final, same as Svetlana, but lots thought the spectacular beam of Kui
was
underscored and Svetlana should not have won silver.
